Check what SRS are offering at the weekend. They have had a few Saturday/Sunday deals over the last few weeks.

I am afraid it is not related to the sale, but I am curious as to where Sue went off alone to take those extra 235 exposures?

Good luck with the sales!

(Other camera shops are available)

the 645 series are Medium Format

The K1 is the only camera with a sensor of equivqlent size of 35mm.

The remainder are APS-C like the former Pentax K20D.

SRS reducing this weekend as 'ilovesaabs' said, this time with checkout coupon as opposed to a straight price reduction - to all intents and purposes, the same thing:

SRS have offered them at £1599 for 5 weekends out of the last 6 that I have seen. The offer price might appear late on Friday if not Saturday morning and lasts for the weekend.

Last weeked at SRS, they remained at £1799 but then Park Cameras ran the same offer of £1599.

It can be useful to check here...

...but they sometimes lag actual prices.

But can you wait for the next (not quite so) big thing?

I remember you said £374 Bill!

Yes, it's fascinating to hear the tales of woe since defecting.
But we must surely ask, "Why did they defect?" and "Has Pentax improved while they have been away?".

Perhaps Ricoh will take them over and rebrand them Pentax's! As the chap said, they need sensor stabilization and auto bracketing, where else to turn to?
I wonder if the K-1 actually hit their full frame sales to add to their woes.
Kills two birds with one stone as Pentax needs improved autofocus and tracking!

It's either going to be 'Nikon is doomed' or 'Nikon are restructuring and focussing on what they know best', here's hoping for the latter!
See you back in six months!
Unfortunately, should that happen then the reason for the switch would see me I'd end up where I don't want to go, Canon!
Well twelve months then! Following in Jules' footsteps!? Once a Pentax user, always....[/quote]...waiting for improved AF.
